Plot post for July 30!

This format of plot post is designed for players to ask questions and find ways to influence the plot. Be bold and ask what you can or can't do; the worst that can happen is that I will say no. As plots in Save the Earth are not self resolving nor on a time limit they can evolve in many ways. Although some potential outcomes are given, they are little more than suggestion and can be changed by character action. What role you take is up to you.

The post is also open for players to plot and coordinate between one another.




Events occurring currently;
• The Vermini swarms have disappeared for the most part, and there's no sign of Vermedi either. Some characters may glimpse hairy figures in dark alleys or in sewers, but the creatures always disappear as soon as they are spotted.

• There are an unusual amount of police patrols out and about in the city. Any suspicious activity will be noticed, though there are no immediate IC consequences.

• We also have two super secret event opportunities that have not been claimed. Two commenters to the thread below will be randomly selected for this plot.




Events occurring in the immediate future;
Beginning Friday, August 2, there will be something in the water. Drinking any tap water will result in occasional, uncontrollable fits of laughter, along with re-experiencing previous Echoes, especially memory Echoes. One Echo per 8oz glass of water, and the beginning of its effects can be delayed for up to an hour. Within six hours it'll be out of the character's system completely.




Events potentially occurring;
• If PCs wish to investigate Thunder Corp this week, comment to the thread below with a general idea of how you plan to get in and what you plan to do once you're there. Details will be forthcoming on a case-by-case basis.





Potential Echo Opportunities:
• Drinking the tainted water will grant one new Echo (and only one, no matter how much water is drunk) in addition to any re-experienced ones. Uncovering any secret information about Thunder Corp will also grant an Echo. Canon parallels are a constant.

So. Cyberattacks, yea or nay?

Because that's her plan. If she can coordinate with an on-site team and be Mission Control, all the better. She's been (off-screenly) poking at and analyzing their (and the police's) network security for most of the past month so she's reasonably prepare.

She'll also be poking around their financial documents and looking for anything that doesn't add up - money talks (and they'd try to sweep any shady deals under the table, of course) and some people will do anything to try to keep the cash boat floating.

Julien's still trying to adjust to his eyes, stupidly sensitive and high-frame-rate and all. He's reluctant to go outside alone because he still tends to get distracted and shaken.

Otherwise idk! He certainly might get affected by the water, and since he can't laugh normally anymore he will just sort of... gasp weirdly. Clearly someone needs to see that.

The water looks slightly odd to pigeon eyes. If any effort is made to track down the source of the contamination, he could be useful, but it's not something he'd try and organize.

Does anything about the tainted water look odd to ten-billion-color eyes? Some kind of additive that might be invisible to humans?

Hmm... Vanessa's going to be on the bench for big adventures for a little while, but depending on when this goes down burglary and the like are her jam. If she's not in shape for directly infiltrating she can at least help out with the planning and do some mission control work for anybody who does go in.

Does the laughter effect of the water affect NPCs/non reincarnates too?

So, I'm back! Officially I'm back tomorrow because today was a busy day, but yeah...I'm working on getting my activity back up and definitely willing to plot stuff!

I'll probably definitely be doing something with the water, but I'm not sure what yet! He doesn't have a whole lot of ha-ha moments in the anime version of canon. :|a I might do something silly similar to his sudden skill at kendama if I can come up with something, maybe?

Does boiling the water or running it through normal (i.e., for camping/hiking) water filters remove the effects?

Also, what would re-experiencing a non-memory Echo involve?

Chiming in with the expected "does the water smell funny and if so what does it smell like" question XD

Plots!

So! Vanessa's going to be sidelined for at least the next couple of weeks while she heals up from her Mystery Event attack. On the bright side, though, Allomancy powers! Once she's back on her feet she'll probably be wanting to practice with them and get them under control, particularly that Steelpushing stuff. So there's that, if anybody wants to come out and target practice or something.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, and count on a gigglefit as well. Who the hell has money for bottled water?

Otherwise? Come at me! Always looking for new CR opportunities. All kinds of CR. Whatever you've got, let's hear it.

Fred might try to organize such a thing, especially if he knows there's someone with relevant detection abilities. His last Echo gives him a certain desire to Get Involved and Do Things, especially if those Things involve thwarting Thunder and/or the Gardeners.
